Infowhelm

This class wiki was created to help you experience a wiki environment and to provide additional resources to supplement the textbook. So by now you're understanding the concept of Infowhelm. There is sooo much information out there...and the information presented on this wiki is is after it has been sifted and sorted. If you want a place to start (or even a place to end if you're ready to cry), here's the nuts and bolts of it. Beyond those that are assigned readings for various class assignments, if I had to pick my
Top 5 Worth-the-Time Supplemental Resources on the class wiki it would be....drum roll please....

1. To get energized--visit the Edutopia website
2. To form a vision--Papert's keynote address
   (Quicktime Video-I think it's about 30 min.)
   (For more Papert see Leaders on the Research(ers) page.)
3. To see what is already being accomplished--
   Mitchel Resnick's article Rethinking Learning in the Digital Age (Chapter of 3 of The Global Information Technology Report 2001-2002: Readiness for the Networked World)
   (For more Resnick see the Leaders section)
   OR
   LemonLink, One-to-One & Beyond (for more Lemon Grove School District see Case Studies)
4. To dream about the future--Big Ideas for Better Schools presented by Edutopia or Future School by Alvin Toffler
5. To get some practical guidance--read the article Critical Issue: Using Technology to Improve Student Achievement

OK, that's the top 6 or 7becuase I snuck a couple extra ones in there, but it's better than the top 10, right? Enjoy!
